CSR Success Story: Baker Hughes and UC Berkeley Join Forces to Drive Global Decarbonization. In a groundbreaking collaboration announced on December 23, 2024, energy technology leader Baker Hughes and the University of California, Berkeley have unveiled the establishment of the Baker Hughes Institute for Decarbonization Materials. This partnership represents a significant step forward in the pursuit of innovative, scalable solutions to combat climate change and reduce industrial emissions. Housed at UC Berkeley’s prestigious College of Chemistry, the institute will act as a bridge between cutting-edge academic research and practical, commercial applications. The partnership aims to accelerate the development and deployment of cost-effective climate technologies that support sustainable energy transitions globally. A Vision for Decarbonization At the heart of this initiative is the shared vision of Baker Hughes and UC Berkeley to address the urgent need for scalable, impactful climate solutions. The institute will focus on: Advanced Materials Development: Research will center on creating next-generation materials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that can efficiently adsorb and separate gases like carbon dioxide from industrial emissions. Integration of AI and Machine Learning: These tools will be harnessed to expedite material discovery and optimize performance for industrial applications. Collaboration for Scalability: Baker Hughes will actively shape the research agenda, ensuring that discoveries are aligned with market needs and ready for industrial-scale implementation. Chris Pin Harry, Vice President of Technology at Baker Hughes, emphasized the importance of partnerships in driving sustainable energy innovation: “Innovation, collaboration, and partnership are critical to building the diversified portfolio of technology solutions necessary to meet the energy demands of today and tomorrow.” More..https://lnkd.in/dhdaQuEU #Innovation #Technology #ArtificialIntelligence #ClimateChange #CSR #AmazingHour #Education

💵 Up to $500K funding for early stage carbon dioxide removal scientists and entrepreneurs though the Breakthrough Energy Fellowship 💵 🌍The Breakthrough Energy Fellows program focuses across all technology categories that have the potential to reduce greenhouse gases, at scale, by at least 500 million tons per year - which includes carbon dioxide removal (#CDR). 🚀 They are particularly looking for breakthrough technologies that are not incremental, but a *step change improvement* to incumbent technologies and solutions. The Breakthrough Energy Fellows program has three pathways: 💡 Innovator Fellows are world-leading scientists and engineers who enter the program with a critical climate technology to commercialize and receive up to $500,000 in funding. 📈 Business Fellows are experienced professionals with tech commercialization skills who support the Innovator Fellows in accelerating their path to market. 🥼 Explorers receive funding for earlier stage, higher technical risk endeavours. These projects are typically led by scientists at university labs or research entities and receive between $50,000-$250,000. 🤓 Previous CDR fellows include Sinkco Labs, Silicate, Loamist, Holocene, and Aspiring Materials. 📅 If this sounds like something for you apply now! Applications for their 5th cohort are open now until December 2: https://lnkd.in/d8TBQp8q 🙌 Thanks to Jack Andreasen for bringing this to my attention - excited to see the next cohort get us closer to gigaton scale!   #carbonremoval #funding #climatetech

#carboncapture This study highlights the need to follow a holistic approach when evaluating technologies to achieve our net-zero targets.

The future of chemistry is unfolding before our eyes. We’re standing at the crossroads of innovation and sustainability. New breakthroughs are not just exciting; they’re essential. One of the most compelling developments today is the conversion of greenhouse gases into valuable chemicals using sunlight. This isn’t just a theoretical concept; it’s a tangible solution to one of our planet's most pressing challenges. Why does this matter? Research shows that carbon dioxide levels continue to rise, contributing to climate change. However, scientists are exploring ways to harness solar energy to transform CO2 into useful products like fuels and plastics. This could revolutionize how we think about waste and energy. Here’s the takeaway: We have the opportunity to turn a major pollutant into a resource. What can we do about it? Stay Informed: Follow advancements in photocatalysis and solar energy technologies. Engage with Experts: Connect with researchers and industry leaders who are pioneering these methods. Support Sustainable Practices: Advocate for policies that promote research and development in green technologies. Invest in Innovation: Consider supporting startups focused on sustainable chemistry solutions. Educate Others: Share knowledge about the importance of carbon capture and utilization in your network. The path forward is clear. By embracing these innovations, we can create a sustainable future while addressing climate change head-on. Let’s turn challenges into opportunities and lead the way in transforming our world through chemistry. #chemistry #sustainability #innovation #greenenergy #climatechange #science #research #technology #education

Shaping the next era of energy is a shared responsibility. Recently, Baker Hughes, in collaboration with the University of California, Berkeley, announced plans to establish the Baker Hughes Institute for Decarbonization Materials at UC Berkeley’s College of Chemistry. Combatting climate change while continuing to deliver reliable and affordable energy requires a multi-pronged approach that no single institution, organization or industry can achieve alone. Together, in partnership with the University of California, we will foster an ecosystem where bold, sustainable ideas are nurtured, developed and deployed; turning academic ingenuity into practical solutions that drive sustainable energy development. The Baker Hughes Institute for Decarbonization Materials underscores our commitment to investing in emerging technologies that will efficiently reduce or eliminate emissions across multiple industries for the next decade and beyond.   Initial research projects will focus on advanced material design and leverage AI and machine learning to accelerate the discovery and development of improved materials and new technology solutions. Special mention to Chris Pin Harry, VP Technology, IET at Baker Hughes and Daniela Abate, VP CCUS, Climate Technology Solutions at Baker Hughes, who will serve on the Institute’s joint steering committee.

Congratulations to Duke University Professor Benjamin Wiley, who received the 2024 Cleantech Research Innovation Award from the Research Triangle Cleantech Cluster last week! A professor of chemistry at Duke Trinity College of Arts & Sciences, Wiley aims to reduce industrial carbon emissions through production of green hydrogen by splitting water with renewable electricity. His work is focused on increasing the productivity of the electrolyzers used in green hydrogen. Wiley's research shows that innovative electrode and electrolyzer designs can boost hydrogen production 50-fold. This breakthrough cuts production costs, making green hydrogen a more viable solution for large-scale industrial decarbonization. His work has been supported by funding from Duke's Climate Research Innovation Seed Program; Duke University, Bass Connections; and Duke's Office for Translation & Commercialization. Also honored at the event was DG Matrix, a Triangle-based company co-founded by Duke alumnus Haroon Inam. DG Matrix received the Cleantech Entrepreneurship Award.
